On the northwestern side of the Museum is a History Sign, explaining how this building had been the Police Station from 1901 until 1977. It is a brown brick 'bungalow', that is now the Shoalhaven Historical Society home for the Museum. It was designed by the government architect, Walter Liberty Vernon.
It served as both the home for the Constable, and the lock-up, until 1953, when it was converted a Police Station. (Some information is from the Historical Marker sign on the western side of the building.)
Address: Corner of Plunket, and Kinghorne Street, Nowra, NSW, 2451, Australia.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
